Cadillac Jack Lyrics by Andre Williams

The Chess Story 1947-1975 CD 12

0

[Verse 1]
On the south side of Chicago lived a guy named Jack
Whose dream it was to someday own a Cadillac
He gambled for his money, the first thing you know
Up popped Jack in a brand new El Dorado
It didn't matter if he had no place to stay
He slept in his car at night and he drove all day
Hustling for a living, he could really shoot pool
And didn't think it was a necessary to stay in school
[Chorus]
A long white Cadillac was his claim to fame
And every year he bought a new one to keep up his name
(What's the dude's name?)
Cadillac Jack
Sure was a mack
[Verse 2]
Life was good to Jack and he thought he had it made
'Til he started foolin" around with another fella's babe
Jack had a way with women and he couldn't understand
Why this girl refused him to stay with her man
Jack said, "Now listen baby", grabbed her by the arm
'Cause he just had to show her how good he could charm
With no word or warning came a burst of light
As Jack made his final mistake that night
[Chorus]
Talkin' real loud, drawin' a crowd
You knew his name really made him proud
What's the dude's name?
(Cadillac Jack)
Sure was a mack
[Verse 3]
Now Jack was a legend on our side of town
Too bad the girl's boyfriend shot him down
A few days later Jack was flat on his back
Gettin' his last ride in a long, long, black, black, Cadillac!
That was Cadillac Jack
[Outro]
Sure was a mack
(Cadillac Jack)
Sure was a mack
Cadillac Jack
Sure was a mack
